Film Studies and Media with Foundation Year

About this course

Film studies and media is a degree that examines two overlapping but distinct forms of cultural production and consumption. Film studies takes cinema seriously as an art form and cultural force, using critical, theoretical and historical approaches to examine how films mean what they mean, how they are made and circulated, and how they reflect and shape the societies that produce and watch them. Media studies broadens that lens to encompass the full range of contemporary media, from broadcasting and journalism to social media, advertising and digital culture, asking how media affects who we are and how we understand the world. At York St John, this four-year programme includes a foundation year, a sandwich year, a year abroad and a work placement, making it one of the most comprehensively structured media and film degrees available. The foundation year builds the academic grounding need
